Joel at the height of his songwriting powers. All the songs are gems and a few are absolute belters! First class.
Always liked T-Rex, I remember watching his TV show Marc as a kid. He had some fab guests, Bowie springs to mind. He always looked totally wasted!
Very enjoyable listen, has aged well
Can’t believe I’ve never heard of this guy! What a soulful voice, very enjoyable indeed.
Love the Black side written by Freddie, not so keen on the White side written by May
Me and my mates played this to absolute death when it came out! Listening to it now there are some excellent tracks on there but as a whole the album is rather depressing really!
Pleasant enough but a little insipid, no of the tracks were good enough to make me want to come back. If I’m having trouble sleeping I might play it again!
Great album, short but sweet mistakes and all!
Very soulful and some excellent songs
The Metal Gods were with them on this one! Saw them live at Manchester Apollo possibly on the tour for this album. Fab concert, every rock cliche to the MAX!!
Can’t believe I have never listened to this album! Very intense, very clever and very funny in places, I enjoyed it a lot.
Musical maverick, very original, some great songs, but this offering didn’t really do it for me to be honest.
Superb live album, one of the best, that catches Lizzy in their natural habitat, on stage! Probably their best line up and music from their best era of albums, say no more.
Not really my bag Latin music but you can tell this album was made with a lot of joy.
Joel at the height of his songwriting powers. All the songs are gems and a few are absolute belters! First class.
Not bad, 2 singles stand out.
Enjoyed this one a lot. Proper old skool style hip hop. Will listen to this again.
Not for me, apart from Fairytale of New York, all sounded the same!
Very pleasant if a bit samey. Good background music I would say.
I first started listening to Jeff Beck late 70s early 80s when he was doing his jazz fusion stuff, Blow by Blow etc. Only just recently have I listened to his earlier stuff and it’s absolutely fab! Great use of Rod Stewart’s vocals too.
An eclectic mix of slightly weird vocal songs and excellent musicianship. Had to listen to it at least 3 times to get a handle on it but I liked it.
I enjoyed listening to this album but I think I enjoyed reading about his life more! 27 wives? Wow. I shall certainly check so if his other stuff.
Wow an album from 66 years ago, this list isn't very current is it? Interesting to listen to but not really adding a lot to my musical experience to be frank. You can here a slight hint of the blues in there with the hokey cowboy sound though.
2 hours plus of hard rock by a band who you’re not familiar with seemed a pretty daunting task. However the lyrics and quality musicianship made it an interesting experience.
A few years back I had a drunken and slightly heated debate with a mate who said a lot of Bowie songs are shit! My position being that a shit Bowie song is far better than most artists great songs! However on revisiting all Bowie early albums, including this one, I can’t help thinking my mate might of been in to something. There is what can only described as an awful lot of “filler” in between the undoubted classics that we all remember and love so much, food for thought?
Do you know I’d forgotten all about this album! I used to listen to this all the time way back when. Very clever, very musical and very enjoyable, thanks for the reminder!
Pretty good though the bass solos seem to go on forever. There are much better Bill Evan’s albums than this one in my opion.
Much more fun than I thought it would be. Though I can’t understand what they are singing about the rhythms make you feet tap and the singing is infectious.
Enjoyed it if a bit hokey in places, good ol’ boys!
Not really for me this, just a load of mysoginists bitching about each other and talking about their dicks!
Really enjoyed this one, great musicians, great tunes and great vocals!
Really enjoyed this one, but like Rage Against the Machine but with butter melodies, nice
A reasonable album containing an absolute belter, Papa is a rolling stone stands out like a mountain in a field here. What a song, one of the best ever possibly and for that alone this album gets 3 stars.
Excellent, some great tracks on here alright. Not so fond of the super quick fade outs though I guess Bob had said all he needed to say!
Interesting…better than most thrash I’ve heard but prefer my rock of the Deep Purple AC/DC variety!
This is the 3rd Afrobeat album on the list so far and I’m really enjoying them though next time I listen to this I will give th 11 minute drum solo at the end a miss!
Great riffs and solos and some good tunes but the vocals at times are ridiculous !
I’ve only, last 10 years, started listening to The Who and appreciating their music. However good as it is I find this one a bit of a task to be honest. Apart from Pinball Wizard there are not really any songs that stand up on their own without the context of the story of the album. I will stick to Who’s Next I think!
The music is very good but I get what some people say about the singing but that’s just Sioxsie! An excellent debut album to be fair.
A very pleasant and enjoyable listen especially considering the source material. Polly Jean is such a varied artist and I have liked pretty much everything she’s done, some of it is very challenging but that is a good thing, mostly.
Why do we have to hear this before we die? Some of the riffs were pretty awesome but the overall album was tres mal!
Kind of missed these at the time, I remember the hype but never got round to listening for myself. Glad I have now, excellent debut album with some proper earworm tracks! Just downloaded their follow up album so I’ll give that a spin later.
